Episode Details

This will be the third podcast I am doing that focuses exclusively on the incredible damage and destruction caused in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and all the locations in its path, but focused primarily on North Carolina and Tennessee.

Those of us looking on from afar can only do what we can to convey the utter devastation that has affected those areas. It is horrendous.

But better than the onlookers explaining what is happening, it is much more effective—chilling, frightening, in fact—to facilitate the words of people who are there and have been lucky enough to get the word out about what they are going through.

Some of these clips can be long, but I am warning you now, that every word is either heart-wrenching or infuriating. The only way you can turn away from these reports is to exist as cold-blooded and heartless.

The first clip is a passionate and heart-breaking plea from a resident in the affected area:

The next clip comes from a volunteer worker who expounds on the intentional obstacles FEMA is putting in place for the rescue workers who – are primarily volunteers and private citizens:

The next clip comes courtesy of a personal friend, Connie, who lives in North Carolina. It features a water rescue worker with years of experience on the job. You will notice that as the accounts are presented, they both get worse and corroborate the reports as worse than being reported:

This next clip was sent to me by a Florida friend, Bill, and features a member of the Florida State Guard – Special Missions Unit:

This next clip features a volunteer with boots on the ground at a relief materials aid staging area at the Ashville airport and, again, expounds on FEMA's obstruction, incompetence, and dereliction of duty. Facebook says this is disinformation:

And this clip features a citizen journalist who has boots on the ground – and who is engaged in rescue efforts – who does his best to explain how fed up those affected are with the piss-poor FEMA and federal government response, to include the county sheriffs in the region who are banding together to take a stand:

We as a people need to do everything we can to help our fellow Americans in this time of need. In a United States where the federal government actually functioned for the benefit of the people instead of non-citizen globalists and – exclusively – the elitist class, such as it exists today, every asset at the government’s disposal would be employed to aid Americans first – an idea that the narcissistic and despicable far-Left terms as being selfish…even as they ignore the pleas from those desperate for help of any kind.

When we come back, I’ll get into the politics being played on this issue – and it is stunning that anyone has the gall to be playing political games with a situation like this and the one that’s coming with Hurricane Milton, which is bearing down on the Florida Peninsula. This administration and its supporters make me sick.

As the good, hardworking people of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee – especially – but all of them who have been devastated by Hurricane Helene, and who will be in their position after Hurricane Milton, Don’t expect any adequate response from your federal government. Any response will be jam-packed with bureaucratic red tape and have strings attached that only the evil would tether to humanitarian aid. And it’s all for the purpose of attaining and holding on to power and greed.

Over the years, I have talked about the hyper-politicization of our government. Disgustingly, this has enveloped the government’s obligation to provide emergency relief and services to its people in their time of need. The Biden-Harris administration has become the gold-standard, the epitome, of political opportunism; where everything, even when people are dying, has to have a political angle to their benefit.

Make no mistake, there is no benevolence in an
